Why fund Plu from Trust Wallet?
Trust Wallet is a multi-chain self-custodial wallet supporting 70+ blockchains — including Ethereum, Tron, Solana, and BSC.
Plu issues a Visa card you can fund directly with stablecoins. Trust Wallet supports both Ethereum and Tron natively, making it one of the most flexible wallets for funding Plu. We recommend TRC-20 (Tron) for the cheapest, fastest path. The result: one on-chain transaction, then you spend at any of 100+ million Visa merchants in 143+ countries — no exchange off-ramp, no bank account required.
This guide walks you through the exact flow: copying Plu's deposit address, choosing the right network on Trust Wallet, sending the transfer, and confirming the credit. Most users finish in under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- Trust Wallet installed on your mobile app or browser extension
- USDC or USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) and Tron (TRC-20) balance in your Trust Wallet wallet (enough for the transfer + a small network fee buffer)
- A Plu account (free — sign up at app.getplu.com if you don't have one)
- Internet connection on both devices
Step-by-step
1. Open Plu and tap Add funds
Choose USDC or USDT. Plu will prompt you to pick a network.
2. Choose your network
Trust Wallet supports both Ethereum (ERC-20) and Tron (TRC-20). For most users, **TRC-20 is the right default** — fees are typically under $1 and confirmations land in 30-90 seconds. Use ERC-20 only if your stablecoins are already on Ethereum and you'd prefer to pay the gas fee than bridge first.
3. Copy the deposit address
Plu shows a unique deposit address for the network you selected. Tap to copy. Verify the first and last 4 characters match what you'll paste in the next step.
4. Open Trust Wallet and tap Send
Open Trust Wallet, tap the asset (USDT-TRC20 or USDC), then tap Send. Paste the Plu address and enter the amount. Trust Wallet will show the network fee in TRX (small amount).
5. Paste the address and enter the amount
Paste the Plu deposit address. Enter the USDC or USDT amount you want to fund. Trust Wallet will show you the network fee — review it, then confirm.
6. Wait for the credit
Once the transaction confirms on-chain, Plu credits your balance. Tron (TRC-20) typically takes 30-90 seconds. You'll see a notification in the Plu app.
Network selection
Trust Wallet supports the following networks for Plu funding:
| Network | Fee | Speed | Recommended for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum (ERC-20) | $2-15 typical (gas-dependent) | 1-3 minutes | USDC/USDT already on Ethereum |
| Tron (TRC-20) | Under $1 | 30-90 seconds | Cheapest path, most users |
Default recommendation: **Tron (TRC-20)**.
Common issues and fixes
- Two USDT entries — Trust Wallet shows USDT on multiple networks (Ethereum, Tron, BSC). Make sure you tap USDT-TRON (with the Tron logo) for TRC-20 transfers, not USDT-Ethereum or USDT-BSC.
- Need TRX for gas — Tron uses TRX (or 'energy/bandwidth') for fees. Most transfers cost very little, but having $2-3 of TRX in your wallet ensures the transaction goes through.
- Buying USDT inside Trust Wallet — if you bought USDT through Trust Wallet's in-app purchase, double-check which network it landed on (often BSC by default). Switch to TRC-20 before sending to Plu.
- Memo fields — Plu's deposit addresses don't require a memo or tag. If Trust Wallet asks for one, leave it blank or skip.
What you can do once funded
Once your Plu balance lands, you can:
- Add the Plu Visa to Apple Pay or Google Pay for contactless payments
- Pay any subscription billed in USD (Netflix, Spotify, GitHub, ChatGPT, AWS, etc.)
- Spend at any merchant accepting Visa — 100+ million worldwide
- Withdraw cash at ATMs at competitive rates
- Issue scoped Agent Cards for AI agents (Claude, Cursor, etc.) with hard spending limits

Frequently asked questions
Can I send from BSC (Binance Smart Chain) USDT to Plu?
Plu doesn't accept BSC deposits — only Ethereum (ERC-20) and Tron (TRC-20). If you have BSC USDT in Trust Wallet, you'll need to swap it to TRC-20 USDT (via PancakeSwap or a centralized exchange) before sending to Plu.
What network should I use to send from Trust Wallet?
Choose Tron (TRC-20) if you want the cheapest path — fees under $1, confirmations under a minute. Choose Ethereum (ERC-20) if you already hold USDC or USDT on Ethereum and prefer not to bridge.
How long does the transfer take to credit my Plu balance?
Once the transaction confirms on-chain, Plu credits your balance immediately. Confirmation time depends on the network: TRC-20 lands in 30-90 seconds, ERC-20 takes 1-3 minutes, Solana under 30 seconds.
What if I send to the wrong network?
Cross-chain mistakes are usually unrecoverable. Always confirm the destination address matches the network shown in Plu's deposit screen. Tron addresses start with "T", Ethereum addresses start with "0x", Solana addresses use base58 encoding. Trust Wallet should clearly show the network at the top of the send screen — match it to what Plu requested.
Is there a minimum or maximum deposit?
Plu's minimum deposit is generally low (under $10 equivalent) but varies by tier. Maximum deposits scale with your account verification level. Network fees may make very small deposits uneconomical — it's best to batch top-ups when possible.
